Crazy Blue Russian Sage is a dwarf woody perennial with fine aromatic grey-green foliage. Whorls of violet blue flowers on airy pinnacles cover the foliage from mid summer into fall. Best flowering in full sun and well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established. DO NOT eat the leaves- they are mildly toxic, however the flowers are edible and have a peppery flavor.
